Reservation and The Cause of Reservation

Why are our policy makers c reservation as solution to everything? When we achieved our independence from British shackles, alternatives were searched for a fast economic social growth path. For the cause of upliftment of unprivileged, depressed class leaders demanded communal electorates but congess leaders headed by Mahatama Gandhi was against such electorates. With intense bargaining, reservation of seats as solution was hammered out.

Its quite visible and clear that intentions of our leaders were/are fair and true but the path they chose is not the best one. I am against reservation of any type. Does that mean I am against the upliftment of poor and the needy ? Obviously NO ! Then why am I against reservation?Because I believe there are better solutions available to this problem then reservation. Its not like to achieve something u have to sacrifice something. It is possible for the whole society to move forward.

Reservation tramples the very basic fundamental principal of democracy i.e. individual liberalism. Its a tool synonym to communist ideology ; an 100% reservation would transform our democracy into a communism.

Reservation are like steroids for body building. You may see benefits but along with hazardous side effects. They are uneconomic and opposes the market principles of competition.

Compromise on talent and its side-effects - When you reserve a seat, you compromise on talent which then effects work.

Reservation is one of the most stickiest policy ever. We may have neutralized socialism but it would be impossible to dilute reservation. Any community or class given reservation would never want to let it go without a fight. Its like power given in hand of politician or bureaucrat or high salary given to an employee. They will not let it go !

It brings an psychological divide between the reserved classes and others. Its nurturing a division not based on economic or social conditions but one that of envy, jealousy of having less opportunities.

Its highly uneconomical. Such high reservation if carefully looked is an substitute or cover up of actually handing over money. This will prove highly dangerous for our economy.

I don't deny that this reservation policy won't bear any fruits, it will. But at the cost of irreversible damage. Moreover when its possible to have solutions better than reservation, then why should we chose the former.
